Reviews
- June 23, 2024"Great place to spend a few hours with kids. My kiddo loved the creative playground, dinosaur exhibit and treehouse room. We went through the raptor aviary three times the Snowy Owls were her favorite. We didn't make it to the canopy walk because it was raining but I believe that's the main attraction. Still, even without this we really enjoyed several hours. Would recommend bringing a stroller if your kid isn't a great walker as stuff is a little spaced out and the trails are extremely accessible."- Erin Teodosio
